First rule of newspaper comment sections…they attract trolls.
Pro-Lifers, my arse! If they were really pro-life, they’d have been turning their anger on a govt. that took them into wars that have cost upwards of a 100,000 innocent lives. Fucking hypocrites! :mad:
It’s wrong to kill, so he killed the doctor.
Next he could get the death penalty, to teach him and others that it is wrong to kill people to punish them for killing, by killing him.
Stop the world, I want to get off.
Couldn’t he just regenerate?
*But seriously, utterly indefensible.
The suspect is 51 years old, white male. Was caught driving peacefully home, doing the speed limit.
He did walk inside the church. Two people tried to stop him from leaving, but he threatened them with his pistol. So he’s got one murder charge and two aggravated assault charges.
I am pro-life.I am disgusted with Tillers murder, disgusted with wars.I don’t believe in god either.
To play the Devil’s Advocate, they basically consider it defending someone. (No, I do not agree, and I think they’re fucking nuts)
I, for one, think it’s funny that an abortion doctor goes to church.
This is heartbreaking. What a horrible, horrible tragedy for Dr. Tiller’s family to have to suffer through. To have already been shot, terrorized, vandalized and finally murdered in the foyer of his church. Dr. Tiller is a hero for going through all this and continuing to practice medicine. I don’t think too many people that could or would have withstood the pressure.
As for the abortion debate, I completely agree with Argent Towers. The person who did this is scum and should be vilified.
I can’t wrap my head around the logic of killing those who kill.
I was also so pissed off when I read this quote from Operation Rescue:
'Cause Operation Rescue is such a PEACEFUL, LEGAL organization…and healing can only be found through Jesus Christ. Assholes.
Sorry for the double post but WTF? Why? You can’t be a Christian and be a medical doctor?
Because the majority of them approve of it.
He was also hidden by his fellow “pro-lifers” from the government, as I recall.
In other words, to you the woman isn’t human, she’s just a brood mare. A womb with legs. The pain, the risk, the long term health consequences of pregnancy don’t matter to you. And if she dies it’s what the bitch deserves, right ? “The slut should have kept her legs shut.”
In other words, you are quite happy about it but lack the guts to admit it.
Doctor Who performed abortions?
“We denounce vigilantism?” What the fuck does vigilantism have to do with anything?
Do they mean they don’t want someone taking the law into their own hands and executing Dr. Tiller’s murderer extrajudicially? That must be it.
Because vigilantism is about people who are not law enforcement officials hunting down and harming people who have been accused of actions that have been DEFINED AS CRIMES BY THE GOVERNMENT. The only potential target of vigilantism here is the man who walked into a church service to commit a murder.
A couple of points gleaned from the blogosphere.
The good Dr did indeed “specialize” in late-term abortions. In that he was one of the few willing to perform them, he became the most experienced.
The women he treated did not want abortion, they had no option. Something had gone very, very wrong, and there was no other choice.
Not even the most rabid “pro” is likely to accept a woman’s death for no purpose, and any number of the procedures were performed because the prospective baby was dead, or soon would be.
By all accounts, a careful and conscientious doctor, who kept on his work…his *needed *work!..for years under constant threat of violence. We are less for his passing and even lesser than it was murder.
The rumors are that it is a guy named Scott Roeder. He was a poster on Operation Rescue’s site.
Big surprise.
Bleass everyone for attending and praying in May to bring justice to Tiller and the closing of his death camp.
Sometime soon, would it be feasible to organize as many people as possible to attend Tillers church (inside, not just outside) to have much more of a presence and possibly ask questions of the Pastor, Deacons, Elders and members while there? Doesn’t seem like it would hurt anything but bring more attention to Tiller.
If they didn’t call it “vigilantism”, they’d have to call it “murder”. Calling it “vigilantism” helps them spin it, to blame the victim without coming out and saying so.
Disgusted yet?
Haha…Going to church makes you a christian, like going in the garage makes you a car.
Why do pro-lifers never blame the women getting abortions as much as the doctors? In their mind, aren’t they hiring people to kill babies?

(CNN) – A Kansas man identified by the FBI as a member of the anti-government Freemen group was being held Wednesday on explosives charges as the standoff in Montana entered its 24th day.
Also Wednesday, a detention hearing was scheduled in Billings, Montana, for Freeman Ebert Stanton, 23. He and his mother surrendered last week to authorities.
**Bomb trigger
Scott P. Roeder, 38, was arrested Tuesday in Kansas after deputies found what they called a bomb-triggering device in his car. The Silver Lake man was arrested in Topeka and held on charges of criminal use of explosives, driving on a suspended license and failure to carry registration and insurance.
He was stopped because his car didn’t have a legitimate license plate. Instead, it had a tag indicating the driver was a “sovereign” citizen and immune from Kansas law. The same type of license plate is sometimes used by the Freemen, whose members in Montana are in a standoff with federal agents.
Roeder’s name is on an FBI list of Freemen members, said Sheriff Dave Meneley of Shawnee County, Kansas. In Roeder’s trunk, authorities found fuse cord, a one-pound can of gunpowder, ammunition, a blasting cap and two 9-volt batteries, one wired to a switch – the alleged triggering device.***
This could be the guy - the age is exactly right. Tax protester, Freeman, abotion doctor murderer. Yeah, it looks like the DHS report was spot on.
I think they(we) do.
